7.0/10

I was really impressed with the cleanliness and condition of the rooms. The hotel is conveniently located near main roads, making it easy to get around, and close to the VBC where we attended a concert. However, I did feel a bit unsafe initially due to the surrounding area.

7.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were clean and nice, but the strong smell of the room deodorizer was overpowering. The location was great, near restaurants and attractions, but there were some cleanliness issues in the shower and on the bedding. The service was friendly overall, but there were some instances of inappropriate behavior. The dining options were decent with affordable prices, but the food wasn't always top-notch.
